Great Health In Tough Times

Muscle Testing, Part 4

Before we finish this four-part series on muscle testing (applied kinesiology) let's look at one of its uses in responding to in the swine flu pandemic. I decided to do this after reading that the World Health Organization has issued a prediction of an explosion in the pandemic in the next two months.

What I am about to describe to you is a recommendation from Machaelle Wright, Director of the Perelandra Center for Nature Research. She is writing about strengthening the healing process and accelerating recovery from infections by improving the balance in the body's electrical system. In this case, the balance is improved through the use of the electrical patterns of different flower blossoms. The electrical patterns are infused into water, stabilized with brandy alcohol, and the solution is taken as drops on the tongue. There are a number of different solutions, each made from a different variety of flower blossom. Each solution has the ability to repair damage in a particular circuit in the body's electrical system. You discover through muscle testing which circuits need repair and which solutions you need to take to repair them.

Machaelle reports her experience with accelerating healing when she had flu and used the flower essence protocol. I have not had the opportunity to use this treatment for an infection. Both times I have started getting sick in the past two years I have stopped it with the interventions I have already posted to this blog (optimum dose vitamins C. and D.) and two other interventions (the Medical Assistance Program and optimum dose cortisol) which I intend to post about soon. I have used the flower essences and experienced as well as observed good results for other health challenges. I plan to hold the flower essences in reserve in case my first four lines of defense are insufficient for protecting me against flu.

If you wish to have the flower essences option as part of your response plan if you get flu, either swine or seasonal, you will need the book Flower Essences and at least the Basic Essence Set. You may wish to get the Complete Essence Set. It is also very useful to have the DVD, The Human Electrical System and Flower Essences. You may already have it from my recommendation in Part 3. The Essences are useful in a wide variety of health challenges, physical emotional, and mental. If you dodge the flu bullet you will still find many important uses for the Essences. This brings us to the conclusion of our discussion on muscle testing, one of the most effective tools you can use for taking control of your own health.

Calling all applied kinesiologists! I know several people who read this blog are already using muscle testing. I would greatly appreciate your commenting on your experiences, some of which are quite interesting, useful, and would probably be encouraging to others.

Next, I'm happy to bring you a guest blog by a registered pharmacist who will be discussing one of Big Pharma's most dangerous stabs at your back. Of course, there will be suggestions about how you can constructively and effectively respond to this threat.

Muscle Testing, Part 3

Changing or discontinuing a drug without appropriate medical consultation can have painful, dangerous, and sometimes disastrous consequences. Always consult a physician and preferably the prescribing physician first. That being said, it is also important to understand that once you have developed your proficiency in muscle testing, using the information you gain can protect you against painful, dangerous, and disastrous consequences of taking a prescription drug that is not right for you or a dose that is inappropriate. 106,000 people die every year in hospitals as a result of taking drugs correctly prescribed and administered. Once you develop your skill at muscle testing, your chances of being among that number in the future are drastically reduced.

Now, let's get on with how to learn how to do it. First of all, learn from a pro, who is also a master teacher and has superb audiovisual materials. This happens to be Machaelle Wright, director of Perelandra. The best introduction to muscle testing is a DVD by Machaelle. It is in an album called The Human Electrical System and Flower Essences. The album contains the muscle testing DVD. The other DVDs in the album contain information about the human electrical system and how to balance it in order to gain the most effective control over one's own health. Even if you never look at the electrical system DVDs, the muscle testing instructions are worth the price of the album many times over. Once you have viewed and understood the instructions on this DVD it would be easier to miss the ground with a stamp of your foot than to be unable to learn and use muscle testing

If you want to get into muscle testing the economy way, and this is really economy because it costs you zip, click here for thousands of dollars worth of information free of charge. If you like what you see and experience using these directions, you'll probably want to get the DVD anyway.

Once you learn the muscle testing skill you'll be amazed at how many ways you can use it. The mother of a child who has gluten sensitivity muscle tests the child in the supermarket to see which foods are safe for him. A patient of mine at a pharmacy tested drugs that I was considering prescribing for her until she found the drug and the dose that would be most beneficial to her. At several hundred dollars per prescription the payback on the $28 cost of the album can be breathtakingly fast.

If you're watching your back because Big Pharma is, muscle testing gives you the eyes in the back of your head, which saves a lot of wear and tear on your neck. It may just save your neck, also.

In my next post I'll talk about how to use muscle testing as part of your preparation to deal with the H1N1 pandemic, which the World Health Organization is expecting to explode in the next two months.

Muscle Testing, Part 2

Back again, after a long, unexpected delay. Several things happened: the Phoenix Mission Yahoo Group is showing so much promise for extraordinary healing and generating so much energy that I chose to work on it instead of posting to this blog, my medical practice got unexpectedly and unusually busy and my patients get first call on my time and energy, and I am in an unusually challenging passage on my journey to expanding my own awareness. Through all of this I certainly have not forgotten the Great Health Blog. It kept his calling to me every day for the past three weeks. Now I am happy now to be back to work on it.

I have continued to watch the development of the health-care reform crisis with a mixture of fascination and horror. It is clear to me that the present disease treatment system is unsustainable and increasingly counterproductive. I read a post from Bob Edgar, director of Common Cause, a citizens’ group tracking who in Congress gets paid how much from which special interest groups to do what. The Common Cause report was that since January 1 of this year the health-care industry (Big Pharma, health insurance, and medical device manufacturers) has spent $1 million a day to block any meaningful change in a system that is working really well for a massive transfer of wealth from the American people to the health-care industry, actually the disease treatment industry. When I saw that figure I wondered how much Big Lie could be sold to how many people for $1 million a day. Now I have an answer: quite a lot to quite a few. It may be enough to block any meaningful reform. Even if there is some meaningful reform it's not clear that the result will be an improvement over what we have now, although it is hard to see how it could be worse for the American people or the United States Government.

In the light of what I have seen in the past three weeks I feel that what I am about to tell you about muscle testing is more important than it was three weeks ago. This is because I believe taking charge of your own health is more important than I realized three weeks ago. I continue to believe that your ability to accurately muscle test to see what drugs, supplements, foods, and chemical products are beneficial to your health and which are harmful is one of the most powerful skills for taking charge of your own health.

I intend to post in two or three days the continuation of my instructions for learning to do your own muscle testing.

Muscle Testing, Part 1

Here is what I consider the most important skill you can learn and use it the in your quest for great health. Using this skill you can access your body's wisdom about what pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, and foods it does and does not need for robust health. You can also test for appropriate doses of pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements.

I have introduced muscle testing at this point because I believe you need a way to neutralize Big Pharma's threat to your health by misleading doctors with misinformation and disinformation about pharmaceutical products. Big Pharma can mislead doctors, and evidently often does, but it cannot deceive your body's wisdom about what it does and does not need. T. S. Eliot wrote, "We sit around in a circle and suppose while the secret sits in the center and knows." With muscle testing you can go straight to the center and know what your body needs and what it doesn't. For those of us who have spent our lives sitting around in a circle and supposing, going to the center and knowing is a major event. It is also a powerful event in the process of taking charge of and protecting your health.

Muscle testing is a powerful tool and, like any powerful tool, it requires training and experience for safe and effective use. Let's deal with safe first.

As with most skills, there is a learning curve. People seem to climb the curve at different rates of speed but many people may need about a year to become proficient at muscle testing. This doesn't mean that you won't get useful information for a year but it does mean that you need to give yourself plenty of time and experience learning the accuracy of your muscle testing on less important matters before you trust it for reliable guidance on major decisions about your health. For example, you could muscle test to see if you need vitamin C. If you get a positive test you could then test to see what dose of vitamin C and how many times a day you should take it. If you get a negative test, continue learning muscle testing and test again for vitamin C in a month or two. The advantage of starting this way is that if you make a mistake, nothing dangerous is likely to happen. With vitamin C, if you make mistakes on the low side, you may not feel as well, have more aches and pains, more allergy symptoms, and be more likely to get an infection. If you make a mistake on the high side worst that happens is that your bowels get a little loose. If you have read my posts on vitamin C on this blog, you will know exactly what to do.

With pharmaceuticals it is very different. If you are taking a prescription drug you should not discontinue it or change the dose on the basis of muscle testing without first consulting with a physician, preferably the prescribing physician. This is extremely important and we will discuss it further in the next post.
